I have tried installing Chimera several times on my Windows machine but keep receiving an error message saying "Outline highlight not supported by hardware", any advice would be appreciated. ~ Arthur

So the installation succeeded, no need to reinstall chimera. The error is just a warning and chimera will work mostly work without outline highlights. So you should fix it:

Chances are that your desktop is configured for 16 bit color -- the solution is change it to 24 or 32 bit color. Go to Control Panel / Display / Settings, and change the "Color quality" to highest.

There is also the possibility that you need to install a newer version of the video driver from your graphics card vendor. Or that you need a graphics card :-)

Hope this helped,

Do any of you have an idea of how much a single commercial license for Chimera would cost?

The official answer is: "Commercial licensing costs are tier-based, depending on the number of users. Please contact chimera@cgl.ucsf.edu if you are interested in using Chimera for commercial purposes."

In Lydia's case, we decided that asking the question on the chimera-users mailing list was equivalent to sending email to chimera@cgl.ucsf.edu. But we would prefer email.
